Pet Sitting Village In The Woods

About: I’m a proud pet parent and lifelong animal lover. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them the way you do. Whether you’re heading out of town, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care. I have experience caring for companions of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra comfort. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Please be sure to carefully review my profile, as there will always be other pets in the home as well as my children (who also love and adore animals). *If your companion is boarding for an extended (3x more days) please bring along a crate for their stay. The only time a kennel is needed is for boarding - so I can ensure their security while I step out to take my children to/from school. If you are considering boarding and are in need of a crate, or arrive for boarding without a crate, one may be provided during their stay for a small fee upon arrival. Rest assured your pet will be treated like family in my care. I let my clients decide the level of communication and am more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, cuddles, or doggie day care, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Caring for pets has always been a major part of my daily life. Pet sitting naturally fits into my routine because I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, potty breaks, and any special care requirements. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they feel secure and well cared for while their family is away. I also prioritize communication by providing regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, confident, and supported throughout the entire experience.

“Highly recommend booking! Binx absolutely loved the visits and it is very evident Kristina cares so much for the pets she’s watching. Will absolutely book again for any future pet visits!!!”

About: I truly adore cats and dogs, and I love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m patient, gentle, and always tuned in to what your pet needs—whether it’s extra playtime, a calm presence, or just someone who treats them with the same love they’re used to at home. Your pets become a little part of my heart while they’re with me, and I’m committed to making them feel cared for every moment. Even with a full-time Monday–Friday job, caring for animals is something I naturally make room for—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I’m available in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or snuggle visits, and I’m always happy to stop by on my lunch break if a pet needs a little extra attention. Weekends and holidays are even more flexible for me, so I can give your pets plenty of time, love, and consistency. No matter how busy life gets, I make sure the animals I care for feel supported, safe, and looked after. No matter where I’m caring for your pet—my home or yours—I always try to make things feel calm, comforting, and familiar for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding times, their favorite walking route, or a special way they like to play or wind down. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and just the way you prefer. I give your pet plenty of attention, love, and reassurance so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Jennifer came for the meet and greet with my kitty and instantly made me feel at ease with having her care for my girl. Great communication with her and nice pictures from her drop in visits. She gave some special treats to my kitty on her visits. Also gave my girl special food and treats I left for her. Jennifer also did a few extra tasks to help me while I was gone. I will definitely ask Jennifer to drop in for me in the future.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, and her communication throughout the stay gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them as if they were her own. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”

“Chloe was very responsive and flexible for my last minute trip out of town. I get super nervous being away from my dogs for too long, but I got lots of reassuring pictures and updates. I’m most surprised that my dog Lady, who is very apprehensive around new people, opened up for pets and cuddles to Chloe by the first visit! Highly recommend for keeping your pets not only watched and fed, but giving them the high maintenance attention they deserve. 😊”

About: I've taken care of pets since my early twenties and have even helped potty train both my dogs as well as family members'. Most recently I have cared for 2 senior dogs and a Great Dane with several disabilities. I work from home and have ample time to provide care and attention to my pups. If needed I can step away from work for walks, play, potty breaks, etc. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups two keep your babies company. I can also crate your pup if needed. Our own pets are pretty spoiled and they have their own beds but tend to lay in blankets on our couch!

“Rylee was a an amazing help for our 10 day trip. She is an absolute professional who has a lot of experience dealing with our babies. She loved and cared for them like they were her own. Lots of cute and fun picture updates. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our 2 cats and dog were in good hands. Rylee goes above and beyond when shes at our place, not just taking care of our babies but also looking out for our house as well. I strongly recommend booking Rylee for any pet care needs.”

“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for animals through pet sitting (dogs, puppies not yet potty trained, birds, and cats), as well as fostering puppies and bunnies (not currently available for fostering), dog walking, and volunteer work with humane societies in multiple states. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and house sitting. I also have nearly two years of professional and independent home-care experience, including cleaning private homes and Airbnbs and house sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in someone else’s home and treating their space with respect. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and weekend care, and can often accommodate different routines and schedules with advance notice. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and following each owner’s specific routine and instructions. I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and professionally cleaning private homes and Airbnbs, so I understand the trust involved in being in someone else’s home. I’m attentive to doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety.

“Patrick did a great job on dropin visits for my cat while I was away for work. He provided excellent updates with notes, photos and videos. Would recommend him without hesitation”

About: Caring for animals brings me joy. I will take the time to get to know your pet and let your pet get to know me. I have been caring for animals for 6 years. I am happy to help with training routines-including potty training. I walk dogs and play with with pets to keep them active and busy. I work well with multiple pets as well. I will come to you, stay in your home or check in as desired My primary work is animal care. This means that I have great flexibility to include overnight options. Logistics and planning arey strong suits, meaning I can manage the care of multiple pets at a time. I will care for your pets in the environment they feel best in- your home. I will check in, walk, feed and play. I also clean and care for any pet accessories (litter boxes, fish tanks, etc).

“Lindsay did a wonderful job taking care of our pups! It’s so nice being able to relax while away for the weekend, knowing that our dogs are in great hands. Thanks again Lindsay!”
